Complete Paint Job

[Devilz]

As per topic title, how much it cost to get complete paint job for mk4??

[A7 UFO]

million things to consider before a price is given.  Same or different colour for example?

My car colour is Black(L041) and I'm looking to get it done in Black magic pearl(LC9Z)

do you just want it blown over incl door and boot shuts or whole car?  How much work are you prepared to do yourself along the lines of stripping the car and prepping the bodywork?

£2500 minimum for a decent pukka job I would assume

Colour change bumps up the cost significantly as you got to spray all the nooks and crannies otherwise it won't be worth doing

Plus the amount of prep work that would need to go into it to ensure the best possible finish

You southern types are mad. I can get an entire car done for £800, thats round the doors and in the bay a bit. For a complete strip down your looking at about 2k

Yeah and it'll probably look like a £800 paint job... and since when is Wales considered 'southern'?

For a complete strip down your looking at about 2k

So not far off what Rhyso said?

the primer/paint/lacquer/consumables will cost at least £400, even if you strip the car (handles, glass, trim etc) you're still looking at 20-30hrs to prep the body/paint/rub it back etc.  That's 3 days labour - £200 per day is cheap...so that's a grand minimum at real budget price.
